<p>The people who are afraid of the Ganja have never smoked it, never seen, never been around it growing. Its plain and simple an Herb. A beautiful one at that, the most beautiful plant that the green earth produces. Should be prescribed in approiate doses to those in need but big pharma will never give in, thus its general illegality. Epsceially to the Mr Rogers types on here who are petrified of it.</p>

<p>Super disappointing, the worse part is if the Kings do end up trading him to the right place I bet he becomes one hell of a player and for Kings fans that's going to hurt even more. Disappointment for right now though. Definitely disappointment.</p>

<p>it is up to the employer to test or what to test for. not every company tests for substances and different companies test for different substances. and yes there are places where weed is accepted. oh and what about people with a prescription? the nfl for example has adderall on their ban substance list. but half the nfl has a prescription for that (i doubt that half of the nfl really has add/adhd) and because they have a prescription it is labeled ok. i'm sure the nfl isn't the only sport with athletes on this drug. adderall is the drug speed in a pill form. you can even look that up on wikipedia. type in speed (drug) and see what pops up. adderall. much more harmful and dangerous than a bag weed. and the active ingredients in that is the same that was in other weight training pills before they were recalled due to cause of deaths such as the demetrius underwood case. you don't think speed is dangerous for a basketball player then look at what also happen to earl manigault. he ruined his life with it instead of being an all-time nba great. these anti-psychotic pills for depression or anxiety or any other mental disorders are just as bad as any drug out there. have you seen those cymbalta commercials or abilify or whatever else they got on the market? you ever hear the side effects part? well weed wouldn't kill you or cause a stroke or anything that extreme like these other marketed pills that pharmacies try to feed you. if it wasn't on the ban substance list then it wouldn't be a problem in the league. players would just have to be responsible with it. would that be to much to ask? ban substances in sports and other certain employers need to be looked at more closely and reconsidered. right now royce white is probably on some kind of benzo for his anxiety. i don't know which one. it could be klonipin, xanax, valium, etc. but take a pick and it is also a heck of a lot worse for him than a bag of weed. because something is a rule does not make it right and because it is a rule does not mean it can't be changed. right now the rule is the rule and it is what it is. but i'm saying it would be best if this rule was changed and looked at more carefully. i have said before on this site that one should be aware of what they are putting in their body. what you put into is what you get out of it. many pharmacy drugs are as bad as any hard core drug. weed is not hard core.</p>

<p>exactly. what I have been saying all along. not sure why this guy gets a pass. I do think he will mature more as he gets older. the problem is, the damage may be done by that time. remember when he said he wanted to prove people wrong who thinks he is just a monster or a kid with a bad attitude? yet he comes in and re-enforces the notion, taking it to the nth degree. all I keep hearing in my head are the words of Antoine Wright. "one of the main players who was a big part of our team, his attitude was really, really bad -- I'm pretty sure you can figure out who that guy is..."</p>

<p>OK so you want some players to fly to either Washington or Colorado to smoke then fly off to wherever the hell in the USA their team is playing because it might calm them down. Good to you know the law but this is never going to happen and people just have to accept it.</p>
<p>It's funny to me how people always say someone like Michael Beasley needs to get of the weed and concentrate on his game then you want others to take it?</p>

<p>He has to go to a different team. I agree that it's clear his attitude and personality has to change. But the coaching and the other players there are about as bad an influence as he could possibly have.</p>

<p>I happen to agree that it was Dunleavy's play that instigated what happened but the problem is not that Cousins was disrespected or that Dunleavy was playing a bit dirty, the issue is that Cousins decided an eye for an eye should be more like seven fingers and a lung for an eye. Cousins needs to be able to control his urge for revenge and focus it into his play. Otherwise players are going to pull stuff like that even more in the hopes that he gets himself kicked out of the game. This is something that would haunt him his whole career from both a reputation stand point and from lowering his chances of helping his team win when it counts.</p>

<p>In all honesty, I wouldve did the same thing Cousins did. Im 6'9 250 and have played ball my whole life. And I hate when that crap happens. Cousins lost his head and and shouldntve elbowed Dunleavy, but I guarantee Dunleavy knows that was a dirty play. He shouldve immediately apologized to Cousins. Its not a rule in Basketball but all athletes know not to cut a guy like that. That's too low. Then it was BLINDSIDE... Normally when we box out from the blindside, we use arms and shoulders. We call it trainwrecking. But you dont go low. You dont run and hit a guy below the thighs. That could easily be an ACL injury. Dunleavy said he fell. From my view the only reason he fell is because Cousins fell, which carried Dunleavy's momentum. I've read several different reports on the play and of course everyone is only talking about Cousins' eblow. But I did see some where the reporter said that Dunleavy provoked it... I know everyone is aware of Demarcus Cousins' reputation and character problems, but it's things like this that causes him to go off. He had 24 and 10 in 28mins, you guys think he would just WANT to go and get himself thrown out for no reason?</p>

<p>Did not bring him into the Organization. N!99@ is trouble I said it when he was in College I say it again he is inconsistent and not worth the trouble if he does not get his mind right asap. I am not a brliever but I hope he proves me wrong. I doubt it though. Cancer</p>
